Gluten Free...

May 2, 2011

I received my Zojirushi Mini last week and couldn't wait to try it this weekend. I have a gluten intolerance and know that bread can be very tricky, even in a bread machine. Having done some research online, I used a packaged bread mix (used half the package and listed ingredients as it was sized for a 2lb machine), and used the "Quick" setting (to avoid the second rise/mix).
At first I was a bit concerned as it appeared the dough was not rising, but by the time it was finished baking it had risen perfectly.
Using the machine couldn't have been easier. It came with printed instructions as well as an instructional DVD. And, the resulting bread was so much better than any of the store-bought gluten free breads I've tried, both in flavor and texture!

Great for Couples and Small Families

This machine is phenomenal. It produces loaves that are about 1 pound, so they're perfect for couples, singles and small families. It's super easy to use and the instruction manual comes full of recipes. Very easy to use and its small size (and handle) makes it easy to store. It costs a little more than others but it works like a charm and is worth every penny.

Great Little Machine...wish it had been cheaper

Never made bread before, but this was a nice surprise to make & bake Easy. Will be trying other recipes aside from the enclosed book. Bread freshness is good (no preservatives), but when not for sandwiches, make french toast! Watching the process makes me not so intimidated to try bread from scratch, only machine makes it quicker & less labor! Yippee - perfect for On The Go career folks!

Great product...

This is my first bread maker, and I was nervous that it was going to be a difficult process, but it's pretty easy. Add the ingredients, press a button, and after some time, you have something edible. So far I've made basic bread and cookie dough and both turned out great! The bread was even better on the second day and stayed soft for several days (the two of us ate it within 3 days). It doesn't make a very big loaf, but it works great for two people. I'm happy I purchased this item and can't wait to make different types of bread or pasta or pizza dough or more cookie dough!!!

Great bread machine for a small family.

This bread machine replaced a 20-year old Panasonic bread machine. For many years I heard that Zojirushi makes the best bread machines, and I'm very happy with my purchase. It makes 1 lb. loaves, which is perfect for our 2 person family. I've used it 3-4 times a week with many different recipes, and all loaves have turned out perfect. The small footprint is nice, as is the carrying handle, since I don't keep the bread machine out on the counter. Other than the bread settings, it has settings for dough, rolls, pizza, soft pretzels, cookies, pasta, cakes, and jam (I've not used these settings yet). This bread machine wasn't available in my local Best Buy stores, so it was shipped to me. The shipping was prompt, and the bread machine arrived in perfect condition.

Wonderful Bread Maker !!!

Love it- such a great investment
Posted by: Altney from: Alpine, Utah on We love this product- we have already paid it off by the money we saved making our own bread at home! The bread doesn't last longer than 2 days so the 1lb loaves are perfect
